All Stainless/Silicone Siphon Starter

I have been waiting for years for mine. Not sure if we will ever see them.

I'm extremely interested in this but it seems to be more of a pipe dream than a reality.

I've been using a sterile siphon starter and would never go back to an auto siphon regardless of what material it was made from.

I've been using a sterile siphon starter and would never go back to an auto siphon regardless of what material it was made from.

I never had luck with any autosiphon, as those invariably drew in air, regardless of what I did. I went through 2 of them before tossing them out. Once air was drawn in, bubbles would remain inside, cavitating as beer flowed by. Within a few weeks my beer would develop that tell-tale cardboard taste. I bought a sterile siphon and never looked back.

I just got an email last week from Anthony. Their production is starting up again late January and will start shipping out siphons again early February.

Sounds like they got their vendor issues dealt with who manufactures the seals and they are made to the correct tolerances and are working much better than the original manufactured batch and they are replacing the ones they sent out that are malfunctioning.

That would be nice if they have it sorted out. I'm intrigued by the idea, largely due to the variance of buckets and carboys I ferment in.
